Today's Horoscope

Aries

Try to be firm but flexible now if you are trying to reach better understandings with close partners in either area. You know you are not going to be happy or emotionally secure, until you get your finances in ship shape order. Yet you also are aware that close partners have a slightly different agenda to you. But your priority is to protect your own back as much as possible. Then you can fit in with whatever joint or co-operative schemes are important.

Taurus

Today`s Moon is highly significant for close partnerships. To be independent or to cooperate? That seems to be your choice now and frankly you can`t quite make up your mind for the best. You know you are unwilling to make certain compromises that are being demanded by someone close, but you are equally not sure whether you wish to cast yourself adrift just yet. Maybe it would be best to back off just briefly until you have a clearer idea of what you can sensibly expect.

Gemini

There are days when making a determined push is the right approach. Then there are days when doing nothing at all seemingly ends you up in the right place at the right time, saying the right thing to the right people without making too much of an effort. Just avoid scattering yourself too widely or getting frantic and frazzled. If you can detach your feelings from your thinking then you will find it easier to focus and concentrate.

Cancer

Going to one extreme or the other where cash is concerned is not helpful. If you save to the extent that you`re not able to give yourself the odd present or treat then you`ll feel deprived. But if you pleasure your senses and give yourself the goodies of life without limits then you will get the budget unbalanced. Moderation is the answer. The day won`t suit you for anything that`s harsh, sharp-edged or too strenuous.

Leo

You`re more sensitive to the subtler aspects of the world than usual, so everything around feels dreamy, romantic. If you have to be in contact with other people, you`ll be picking up their problems without even having to ask. This can make you caring, but will have to watch that you`re not pulled into carrying everyone else`s problems. Protect yourself from being drained too much or getting dragged into activities that basically don`t interest you terribly much.

Virgo

You will want to get away from the logical and practical world, to float off into your dreams. You know there are more things on heaven and earth than normal life lets in. Just don`t expect perfection. If a friend pays more attention to someone else, try not to feel hurt, because it will pass by quickly. The Cancer Moon is fickle, so things tend to be good one moment and not so good the next, and then back to being good again. Just let it all ebb and flow.

Libra

Let yourself drift, listen to music or be more imaginative. You will not even mind if someone tries to pull the wool over your eyes. You will just look the other way. You will be sensitive and responsive to the mood around you at work, and therefore very good about handling group situations. You are motivated and ambitious, but you will be putting it across in a very protective way for other people.

Scorpio

Try and make sure that you`re sorting more entertaining and intriguing projects for yourself. You will want to be mentally stretched, to meet new friends, or hear about different backgrounds. Anything frankly which makes you feel that your life is a brighter and breezier. If you attempt any tasks that require a huge amount of clear-thinking, you`ll end up in a bit of a muddle. Then you will have to go back and redo tasks later on. So just push dreary chores to one side.

Sagittarius

Anything which feels too difficult or harassing will not suit your quiet mood. Your intuition will be working well, so trust your instincts. Just don`t try to make cash decisions or add up the budget since your concentration will wander. Though it is in the background of your mind that you have to come to new agreements with close partners, maybe over joint finances or your intimate emotional life. Perhaps they are only minor adjustments you are looking for, but leave it to another day.

Capricorn

The planets around now is a great healer, not in a dramatic way but by gently soothing. It disappears very quickly in the scurry of modern living. If you can connect to it then you find not just that you feel physically better but that you also a deeper sense of purpose. Whether it`s at home or at work, you will want the comforting support of people who can be solidly there for you. Give a wide berth to negative thinkers or grumblers. Aim for buddies, who have been there for you in the past.

Aquarius

Today you will be painting pictures in your mind, which is delightful. Though perhaps not so easy when you express what you are thinking or feeling. Try to draw your important messages, or even write a poem about them. Pictures and images will speak volumes. Just don`t let others demand too much of you. It`s OK to say enough is enough Look at your body, see what you can do to give it a bit of a boost.

Pisces

Avoid leaping in with provocative comments. You`ll end up losing words and not knowing how to finish what you started. Pause if you hear something you think you don`t like. You may have misheard and then respond quite inappropriately. Check it out. Relationships with women should be good with the feminine Moon shining its light on you. Show yourself in a positive way as protective and nurturing. If you take care of others, then they are much more likely to respond in like manner.

Rawlings was introduced to me by a Monmouth based friend who used to bring their fine sausages over once a month, I took the opportunity to visit them in September 13 and again on the 31st Dec 2013 to pick up some of their superb faggots and selection of sausages.
